lyrics

Well it's a simple case of us and them
Say the leeches on the hill
For what they want is what you don't
Say the leeches on the hill

We'll tell you who’s to blame for your shitty life
And the fact that you can't pay your bills
You get nothing while they get it all
Say the leeches on the hill

Focus on what makes you different
Not what you've got in common
With your brothers and sister until
You no longer even recognise them as human beings
Say the leeches on the hill

Forget the N.H.S or the state of your street
Just remember you’re a Paddy or a Bill
Live in the past lest we forget
Say the leeches on the hill

Oh they'll load your ears full of shame and fear
Til there's no more room to fill
For a leech has needs and for a leech to feed
A little blood must be spilled

Yeah they've made a fine art of keeping us apart
By denying us the red pill
But if the working class could pull their heads out of their arse
Who'd need the leeches on the hill
Yeah if the working class could pull their heads out of their arse
Who'd need the leeches on the hill
